Rip—!
A shriek sharp enough to tear apart the Divine Soul exploded directly within space itself! The space around that faint "pulsation" instantly became covered in billions of fine, cobweb-like cracks, as if a heavy hammer had struck glass!
Swish!
A semi-transparent "claw," composed entirely of twisted spatial fragments, extended from the cracks without warning! This claw had a bizarre form, seemingly pieced together from countless broken mirror shards, radiating an essence that devoured order and carried the power of endless Void Realm.
It was formless and intangible, yet more ferocious than any Divine Weapon! Disregarding spatial barriers, the moment it appeared, it brought with it the power of annihilation that could destroy all stable structures, striking towards Li Mu!
Wherever the claw passed, space no longer merely shattered; it directly "dissolved" into a viscous, chaotic, nihilistic paste, devoid of any Law to support it!
Ninth-tier Star Beast - Lord of the Void Realm!
Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits. Li Mu saw through its Origin with a single glance.
No wonder this "Void Realm Origin Core" could maintain order for billions of Years within the chaotic core; its guardian was such a terrifying existence, born from spatial fissures, feeding on order and tangible matter!
Its form was bizarre and unpredictable, its attack methods completely defied common sense, and its aura was far more dangerous and tyrannical than anything he had encountered before! Its inherent destructive instinct towards "order" formed the most direct and cruel life-or-death confrontation with the "Source of Self" Dao Artifact core that Li Mu sought!
Li Mu's eyes suddenly sharpened like a blade that could cleave the heavens. Instead of retreating, he met the terrifying claw that ripped through space and annihilated order. His five fingers curled like hooks, and he clenched his hand!
In the center of his palm, a point of "Source of Self" light, pure to the extreme, as if it could stabilize the universe and suppress all Laws, suddenly lit up!
Buzz!
Wherever the light reached, the viscous space that was "melting" around them emitted a harsh screeching sound, as if an invisible giant hand was forcibly solidifying it!
The sharp claw, composed of chaotic spatial fragments and carrying the Concept of Void Realm that annihilated all Laws, fiercely slammed into the area enveloped by the Source of Self light!
Hiss—!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a grating, grinding sound, like a burning hot iron being plunged into ice water! The moment the tip of the claw touched the light point, the spatial fragments forming the claw vibrated wildly, disintegrated, and reassembled, attempting to drag that solidified order into the abyss of the Void Realm.
The "Source of Self" light point in Li Mu's palm, however, was like the foundational point that stabilized the Grandmist at the beginning of Chaos. Though its light was faint, it was indestructible. No matter how the chaotic tide impacted it, it remained unmoving, even eroding in reverse, forcibly sorting and stabilizing the chaotic, disordered "paste" at the point of contact with the claw tip!
Li Mu's arm was as stable as a mountain. The moment his five fingers closed, powerful Chaos Power erupted from between his fingers, embodying the manifestation of the Origin Laws of the Chaotic Great Dao he cultivated. They wrapped around the Void Realm claw like living beings, ignoring its ethereal physical form and directly targeting the core of its existence—the Void Realm Dao Law that maintained the claw's form!
"Break—for me!"
A low roar reverberated between heaven and earth, devoid of any emotion, yet it seemed to contain the power to create the heavens and earth! The Chaos Power erupted, like a thousand armies charging simultaneously, directly assaulting the core of the Void Realm claw!
Rip—!
A horrifying wail exploded, not a sound audible to the ears, but the "Law collapse" sound that made the entire space tremble! The spatial fragment claw, which was originally formless, intangible, and untouchable, violently twisted and collapsed under Li Mu's suppression, finally turning into a wisp of Void Realm energy, which was swallowed by the "Source of Self" light point!
In the depths of the Void Realm, a vague, unfathomable shadow quietly emerged.
It had no fixed form, sometimes like a beast, sometimes like mist, with broken spatial threads Entanglement around its body, as if it were a monster born from a Void Realm fissure, carrying a will to devour everything.
Its eyes—or rather, the direction it stared at Li Mu—glowed with an unfathomably deep black light, like two miniature black holes devouring light.
"You... touched something you shouldn't have!"
A thought wave, not belonging to any language system, directly penetrated Li Mu's Divine Soul, cold and indifferent, yet carrying a certain primal, instinctive rage.
Li Mu's expression remained unchanged. He took a light step, his figure already standing in the air. Behind him, the Chaotic Great Dao materialized, forming a vast, starry sea-like phantom. This was the "Source of Self Dao Foundation" evolved from the Chaos Laws he had comprehended.
"If you want to die, this Seat will grant your wish!" Li Mu's Chaos Law eyes flashed, and he roared angrily.
However, before Li Mu could finish speaking, the Lord of the Void Realm had already acted!
Its main body suddenly tore through space, transforming into countless black, tentacle-like cracks, madly rushing towards Li Mu! Twisted phantoms appeared within each crack, as if thousands of Small Worlds were collapsing and annihilating within them.
Li Mu's eyes shone brightly, and he formed hand Seals. Chaos Power instantly boiled!
"Chaotic Dao Domain · Myriad Forms Return to One!"
In an instant, heaven and earth reversed, and the Void Realm solidified!
The Chaos Star Sea beneath Li Mu's feet surged and roared, billions of stars lit up simultaneously, their starlight interwoven into an immensely grand Dao Net, locking, sealing, and refining the incoming Void Realm cracks one by one!
The Lord of the Void Realm's attacks were forcibly halted under the Dao Net. Those previously ungraspable phantoms now seemed trapped in the long river of Years, their movements sluggish, revealing countless flaws!
"You... are not the Dao Origin of this realm..." The voice of the Lord of the Void Realm sounded again, carrying a hint of unprecedented solemnity: "Are you establishing your own Dao Law?"
Li Mu sneered: "That's right, I cultivate Chaos, with the Dao as my foundation, using myself as a Cauldron, refining all Laws for my own use. An existence like you, dependent on the Void Realm, is merely a parasite of the Great Dao!"
With that, Li Mu clasped his palms together, and the Chaos Power within his body surged to its Peak!
"Chaos Reversion—Slash!"
He pointed a finger, and heaven and earth lost their color!
The Chaos Power transformed into an invisible judgment, traversing layers of the Void Realm, striking directly at the Void Realm Dao Origin of the Lord of the Void Realm!
Just as the judgment arrived, the space around the Lord of the Void Realm suddenly collapsed and twisted, instantly transforming into a deep, boundless Void Realm Dao Domain! This area seemed to have completely detached from the Laws of reality; all energy, matter, and even attack intent were swallowed and disintegrated by it.
A "hiss" sound.
The Chaos Slash, sharp and unparalleled, pierced into that Void Realm, yet it was like a mud ox entering the sea, not stirring up a single ripple! The power capable of severing Laws was instantly disintegrated and dissolved into nothingness by that pure "nothingness"!
The Void Realm Dao Domain surged silently, not only easily neutralizing Li Mu's killing move but also, like an abyss opening its giant mouth, it began to swallow Li Mu in reverse.
"Hiss—!"
Li Mu, along with the surging Chaos Star Sea, was swallowed whole by the extremely expanded Void Realm Dao Domain! Absolute "nothingness" instantly submerged "existence," and the power of devouring annihilation frantically gnawed at his Dao Foundation, causing the Chaos Star light to rapidly dim.
However, Chaos is not order; it is the mother of all things!
The moment he was swallowed, the Chaotic Law Eyes in Li Mu’s eyes burned fiercely. He did not resist excessively, but instead transformed himself into a Chaos Dao Seed, integrating into the Void Realm! The “Source of Self” light spot in his palm suddenly converged to the extreme; it wasn't extinguished, but transformed into a Chaos Dao Seed, forcefully taking root in the core of the Void Master’s Void Dao Origin!
The Void Master’s ecstasy from devouring his opponent had not yet faded when a sudden drastic change occurred!
The decomposed Chaos Law fragments were not only not completely nullified, but in the absolute heart of the Void Realm, they were frantically absorbed, reversed, and assimilated by the “Source of Self Dao Seed”!
Chaos Dao Origin · Reverse Derivation of Grandmist!
With the Dao Seed as the core, the fragments forcefully underwent a reverse evolution deep within the Void Realm! The Void Law that had devoured him was forcefully incorporated into the Chaos evolution system! From pure “nothingness,” chaotic “somethingness” actually emerged—spacetime bubbles, energy turbulence, nascent forms of collapsing Laws, and so on….
“You! Stop it!”
The Void Master let out a shriek of shock and anger: “I surrender, I surrender! I’ll give you the thing!”
“It’s too late! For you to have achieved your current cultivation, you must have annihilated countless Laws and committed endless slaughter. This Seat shall act on behalf of Heaven today!” Li Mu’s will vibrated in the absolute Void Realm, cold and resolute.
The Void Master’s plea for mercy was like a stone thrown into a dead sea, failing to stir even a ripple.
At this moment, Li Mu had transformed into a Chaos Dao Seed, taking root above the Void Master’s most core Void Dao Origin. He was not struggling for survival, but rather aiming to—pull the rug out from under him!
“Chaos Dao Seed, Create Heaven and Earth!”
At the core of Li Mu’s Divine Soul, that “Source of Self” light spot suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance! It was no longer a fortress resisting annihilation, but transformed into a Chaotic Cauldron that refined myriad Dao and evolved the universe!
Buzz—Rumble—!
An indescribable Dao hum echoed from the Void Origin!
The Five Elements rotated! Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Five-colored Origin Laws surged out from the Chaotic Cauldron, transforming into five giant light wheels that intertwined and spun, forcefully grinding into the surrounding Void darkness!
Wherever the light wheels reached, the pure “nothingness” was forcefully imbued with attributes, decomposed, and transformed into primordial energy to nourish the Cauldron! The darkness melted like ice and snow, emitting sizzling sounds as if being “burned.”
Yin and Yang intertwined, two Chaotic Qi Dragons, one black and one white, ascended from the Cauldron, chasing each other to form a giant Taiji grinding disk! As the grinding disk rotated, the power of creation and destruction circulated irresistibly!
The Void energy decomposed by the Five Elements was forcefully incorporated into the Yin and Yang system. Under the grinding disk’s pressure, the chaotic “nothingness” was sorted and harmonized; a portion ascended as clear Qi to nourish the Dao Seed, while another portion settled as turbid malevolent force to be expelled and annihilated! The purity of the Void Law was completely shattered.
River of Years! A phantom river, composed of countless fragments of time, flowed around the Cauldron.
Under the river’s erosion, the “eternal stillness” characteristic of the Void Law was disrupted! The flow of time inside the Cauldron was forcefully accelerated by Li Mu, accelerating the Dao Seed’s evolution and the evolution of myriad Dao!
At the same time, the power of the river eroded the Void Master’s Dao Origin will, making his perception blurry and sluggish, as if he had fallen into a temporal swamp.
Karma Net, countless fine, tough, golden threads shimmering with the luster of destiny, extended from the Cauldron, ignoring the Void’s obstruction, and deeply embedded themselves into the core of the Void Master’s Dao Origin!
These threads of Karma not only firmly locked onto the Void Master’s existence but also began to trace and link the countless “order” remnants it had devoured and annihilated in the past!
Those Law fragments, sentient beings’ grievances, Star Domain remnants that it had destroyed… at this moment, they were forcefully awakened and gathered by the power of Karma, transforming into invisible shackles and curses that inversely entangled and eroded the Void Master’s Void Origin! It was repaying the Karma of “annihilation”!
Spacetime Barrier! Around the Chaotic Cauldron, space twisted and folded, and time fragments solidified! A “Small World Barrier” forcibly fused and constructed from chaotic spacetime fragments was taking shape!
Although this barrier was within the Chaotic Dao Domain, it was self-contained, isolating the continuous erosion from the external Void and providing a relatively stable “soil” for the internal evolution. On the barrier, spacetime bubbles arose and perished unpredictably, each cycle consuming a vast amount of Void Dao Origin.
Myriad Dao resonated, Chaos Creation!
Driven by Li Mu’s will, the Five Elements laid the foundation, Yin and Yang harmonized, Years accelerated, Karma entangled, and spacetime stabilized… This “Chaotic Small World,” forcibly opened in the absolute heart of the Void Realm, was evolving and expanding at an unprecedented speed! It was like a greedy, living black hole, frantically devouring and consuming the pure Dao Origin that constituted the Chaotic Dao Domain!
The Void Master let out a scream of pain beyond its limit! It felt its “existence” being torn, dissolved, and reconstructed from within! The Void Origin it relied on for survival was being used as fuel by that Chaotic Cauldron, refined into nourishment for the opponent’s Dao Seed!
The Void Master tried to contract its Dao Domain, tried to drive Li Mu away, and concentrated its strength to expel the “tumor” from its Void Dao Domain.
However, the threads of Karma entangled its will, the River of Years slowed its reactions, the Five Elements and Yin and Yang decomposed its power, and the Spacetime Barrier isolated its counterattack!
“No—! I am the Incarnation of the Void Realm! The End of All Existence! How could… how could…”
The Void Master’s will was filled with unbelievable fear and madness, but its struggles became increasingly powerless before the Chaotic Cauldron, where myriad Dao resonated.
Li Mu’s consciousness sank into the core of the Dao Seed, like a god opening the heavens, observing with cold eyes. The Chaotic Cauldron roared, and the light of myriad Dao grew increasingly brilliant in the darkness of the Void Realm.
That “Source of Self” light spot, after refining massive amounts of Void Dao Law and the essence of myriad Dao, was undergoing a profound transformation. Its light was contained, yet it held a Concept more vast, more inclusive, and closer to the “Chaos Origin” than before.
The Void Master’s Chaotic Dao Domain was visibly thinning and dimming. This absolute “nothingness” that devoured all things was visibly being replaced by “somethingness.” The darkness receded like a tide, and the light of the Chaotic Cauldron, like the rising sun, tore through the curtain of the Void Realm.
“You dare to defy Heaven, using myriad Dao as fuel to burn my Origin… Do you know what kind of calamity this will bring? You will never be able to achieve Dao. This world cannot tolerate you. I will wait for you in the Abyss of Myriad Dao. Can you bear such a price? The Dao of Chaos will also eventually collapse…” The Void Master’s voice grew weaker and weaker.
Li Mu did not respond. His Divine Soul had long since immersed itself in that “Source of Self” light spot.
This was the core of Li Mu’s Dao foundation after entering the Dao Seed realm. It was his Chaos Dao Seed, forged through thousands of tribulations and refined by myriad Laws, which evolved into a Small World, completely digesting the Void Master’s Dao Origin and absorbing its Dao Origin will that annihilated myriad Laws, gradually transforming and feeding it back as nourishment for the Dao Seed’s gestation.
